World War 2: Episode 63: June 7th - 9th, 1945

from Letters from the Past · host Scott Ginther

This episode focuses on the World War 2 correspondence from a U.S. Captain in the 7th Armored Division, 489th Armored Field Artillery Battalion, located in Konnern Germany to his wife in Three Oaks, Michigan.  A new entertainment facility was added by the reception of five record players from the division Signal officer.   Dykes has gone to find some wine and 3 officers are out looking for some German girls.  This non-fraternization policy is the worst farce of the Military government. Spent the morning in painting half tracks and then this afternoon it rained.  Now this evening it is very warm again, so will probably get rain again. Betty over here we are on parade or review every time we step out of the house.  Everyone watches every move we make.
